What is the first stage of cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport Chain

  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.

What is the primary function of glycolysis?

  1. To produce ATP

  2. To produce NADH and FADH2

  3. To generate pyruvate

  4. To release carbon dioxide


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary function of glycolysis is to generate pyruvate, which is then used in the Krebs Cycle.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during glycolysis?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During glycolysis, 2 molecules of ATP are produced.

What is the second stage of cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport Chain

  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is the second stage of cellular respiration.

What is the primary function of the Krebs Cycle?

  1. To produce ATP

  2. To produce NADH and FADH2

  3. To generate pyruvate

  4. To release carbon dioxide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary function of the Krebs Cycle is to produce NADH and FADH2, which are high-energy electron carriers.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during the Krebs Cycle?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During the Krebs Cycle, 2 molecules of ATP are produced.

What is the third stage of cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport Chain

  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Electron Transport Chain is the third stage of cellular respiration.

What is the primary function of the Electron Transport Chain?

  1. To produce ATP

  2. To produce NADH and FADH2

  3. To generate pyruvate

  4. To release carbon dioxide


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of the Electron Transport Chain is to produce ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during the Electron Transport Chain?

  1. 32

  2. 34

  3. 36

  4. 38


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During the Electron Transport Chain, 32 molecules of ATP are produced.

What is the final stage of cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport Chain

  4. Oxidative Phosphorylation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Oxidative Phosphorylation is the final stage of cellular respiration.

What is the primary function of oxidative phosphorylation?

  1. To produce ATP

  2. To produce NADH and FADH2

  3. To generate pyruvate

  4. To release carbon dioxide


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of oxidative phosphorylation is to produce ATP through the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen.

How many molecules of ATP are produced during oxidative phosphorylation?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8


Correct Option:
Explanation:

During oxidative phosphorylation, 32 molecules of ATP are produced.

What is the total number of ATP molecules produced during cellular respiration?

  1. 36

  2. 38

  3. 40

  4. 42


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During cellular respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are produced.

Which molecule is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Hydrogen

  3. Carbon Dioxide

  4. Glucose


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.

What is the name of the molecule that carries high-energy electrons from glycolysis to the Krebs Cycle?

  1. Pyruvate

  2. Acetyl CoA

  3. NADH

  4. FADH2
